What Are NYC's Top Pastries (That You'd Wait on Line For?)

In her Ask the Critic column last week, Carey brought the truth hammer down on Dominique Ansel's viral cronut: it's good, really good, but not what you should be waiting on line for at this bakery. For that you should look to the bakery's kouign amann, pictured above, a croissant raised to the buttery power with a caramelized sugar crust—and you can get it any time of day, no wait required.

We're not advocating you wait an hour before getting your butter-sugar delivery vehicle of choice, but we want to know: would you? And for what? Have some top pastries you want to nominate anyway? Go for it. And any tales from the cronut line are more than welcome.
